Potash  Fertilizers. 

Six  samples  of  "  Potash  Fertilizers,"  in  one  ,case  "  said  to  be 
ashes  of  Cotton  Seed  Hulls,"  and  in  another  called  "  Sulphate  of 
potash,"  have  been  analyzed  for  parties  in  Suffield  and  Ware- 
house Point.  All  of  them  were  bought  of  R.  E.  Pinney,  Suffield. 
The  results  are  as  follows  :

This  material,  as  the  analyses  show,  is  not  uniform  in  composi- 
tion. The  phosphoric  acid  varies  from  5.2  per  cent,  to  3  0.0,  and 
the  potash  from  1  J.8  to  32.5  per  cent.  The  samples  which  are 
dark  in  color,  1088_,  1125  and  1268,  are  inferior  to  those  which 
are  light  gray. 

The  water-soluble  potash  is  valued  at  7^  cents  per  lb.  since 
chlorine  is  not  present  in  any  considerable  quantity.  The  potash 
insoluble  in  water  is  disregarded  in  the  valuation. 

Phosphoric  acid  is  valued  at  10,  9  and  4^  cents,  as  in  super- 
phosphates. These  articles  furnish  potash  in  a  cheap  and  desir- 
able form  for  tobacco,  and  we  understand  they  were  used  chiefly 
on  tobacco  land.

In  the  preceding  tables  the  manufacturer's  minimum  guaran- 
tee has  in  all  •  cases  been  given.  The  "  cost  ])er  ton  "  is  tliat 
quoted  by  the  retail  dealer  at  the  point  where  the  sample  was 
taken,  unless  otherwise  stated. 


Trade  Values  in   Superphosphates,  Special   Manures,  and 
Mixed  Fbutilizers  of  High  Gradp:s.    - 

The  Organic  Nitrogen  in  these  classes  of  goods  has  been  reck- 
oned at  the  highest  figure  laid  down  in  the  Ti-ade- Values  of 
Fertilizing  Ingredients  in  Raw  Materials,  namely,  20  cents  ])er 
pound.  Insoluble  Phosphoric  acid  has  been  reckoned  at  4-|  cents, 
and  Potash  at  4^  cents  if  sufficient  chlorine  was  present  in  the 
fertilizer  to  combine  with  it.  If  there  was  more  Potash  present 
than  would  combine  with  the  chlorine,  then  this  excess  of  Potash 
has  been  reckoned  as  sulphate. 

In  most  cases  the  calculated  value  of  Superphosphates  and 
Specials  falls  considerably  below  the  retail  price.  The  difference 
between  the  two  represents  the  manufacturer's  expenses  in  con- 
verting raw  materials  into  the  manufactured,  articles.  These 
expenses  include  grinding  and  mixing,  bagging  or  barreling, 
storage  and  transi^ortation  ;  commission  to  agents  or  dealers ; 
long  credits,  interest  on  investment,  bad  debts,  and  finally  profits. 

In  the  season  of  1883  the  selling  price  of  superphosphates  and 
specials  in  Connecticut  was  on  the  average  18  per  cent,  greater 
than  the  Station  valuations,  or  38  per  cent,  in  advance  of  the 
wholesale  cost  of  the  fertilizing  elements  in  the  raw  materials.
